Default Cinnamon?

I'm fairly new to the boards and have been reading up on some of the other posts...I've noticed that some of the ladies here are on "cinnamon therapy". What's that all about? I've done some reading that cinnamon can naturally help to control your blood sugar. But I'd love to hear about the cinnamon therapy.

Thanks!
Candi

I don't know what the proper regime is, Candi. I just add a couple of teaspoons of ground cinnamon to my food each day, whenever I remember. I admit that it helps, but I stopped noticing the effects after a few weeks and I don't know why.

Hi Candi.

My RE recommended taking cinnamon capsules to help regulate my insulin production and help with sugar cravings.

Thanks to the great ladies here, I found them cheapest at Wal-Mart (right in the pharmacy section with the vitamins) for $4.96.

Aside from helping with my sugar cravings, which I found they did right away, I am noticing slower hair growth *everywhere*. This has to be a benefit from the cinnamon because I'm not taking anything else LOL

Who knows if they would help you in this manner - everyone is different. If you decide to take them, I would recommend letting your doctor know.

Hope this helps.
